Splatoon 3 Splatoween 2024: Team Ninja Emerges Victorious in Nintendo Switch Splatfest

After a spirited weekend competition, the highly anticipated Splatoon 3 Splatoween 2024 Splatfest has crowned its champion.

Nintendo’s ink-fueled shooter saw Team Ninja claim the top spot, outmatching Team Wizard and Team Knight with a decisive lead.

Team Ninja secured 500 points in this year’s Splatfest, compared to Team Wizard’s 250 and Team Knight’s 120, demonstrating a strong rally among players on Nintendo Switch. For fans of Splatoon 3, this event marked another highlight in the game’s ongoing seasonal festivities.

Although Nintendo announced in September that regular updates for Splatoon 3 have officially ended, the Splatoween Splatfest demonstrated that seasonal events remain a major draw for players.

The future of Splatoon 3 now revolves around these limited-time events, offering fans new reasons to return to Inkopolis and Splatsville for each unique competition. The Splatoween 2024 Splatfest began on October 26 and ran through October 27, with voting booths opening up in Splatsville Square in the lead-up to the event.

Players were asked to choose where their allegiances lay—would they rely on magical prowess with Team Wizard, defend honor with Team Knight, or embrace stealth with Team Ninja? The question, 'What would you be in a fantasy world?' inspired heated debate online and friendly rivalry throughout the Nintendo community. This year’s Splatoween continued the tradition of transforming the Splatlands with Halloween-themed decorations and exclusive in-game gear.

Returning players were treated to select items from Splatoon 2, ensuring both longtime squid kids and newcomers had a chance to customize their looks for the spooky festival.

While the event may not have included the extensive new costumes of previous years, Nintendo ensured that the Splatfest experience remained fresh and rewarding. As Splatoon 3 transitions away from regular content updates, major Splatfests like Splatoween are now the centerpiece of the game’s roadmap.

Nintendo has confirmed that Frosty Fest is the next major event on the horizon, with more details expected in December.

These seasonal celebrations not only maintain Splatoon 3’s vibrant community but also highlight the developer’s ongoing support for engaging, community-driven content. With Team Ninja now celebrating its hard-earned victory, Splatoon 3 continues to stand as a testament to Nintendo’s ability to foster lively multiplayer experiences and passionate fan engagement on Nintendo Switch.

Stay tuned for more updates as the next seasonal event approaches and the ink battles continue.
